Open Dialogue on the Future of the Global Economy launched at the National Centre RUSSIA
In Moscow, at the National Centre RUSSIA, the open dialogue 'The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth' has begun. Over the course of three days, participants will discuss the prospects for global economic development and the impact of today's changes on people's lives and well-being. The discussions are based on nearly 700 essays submitted by experts and scholars from around the world. From April 28 to 30, the open dialogue 'The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth' is taking place at the National Centre RUSSIA in Moscow. The event is aimed at creating a discussion platform to explore the future development of the global economy. Participants include representatives from 48 countries. Among the invited guests are experts from leading think tanks, development institutes, academia, youth organizations, as well as government and business representatives. 'For the first time, we are holding such an open international event. Together with you, we will discuss new ideas, form new projects, and later implement them for the benefit of our countries, for humanity, and for our people. Thank you very much. Welcome to Moscow,' said Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia, addressing the participants. As part of the preparation for the open dialogue, organizers held an essay competition. The results shaped the event's agenda by highlighting the main ideas and trends for upcoming discussions. Participants were invited to write essays on one of four topics: investments in people, technology, environment, or connectivity. The primary goal was to demonstrate how long-term global changes could affect people's lives and well-being. 'We received around 700 essays from over 100 countries worldwide. People from every corner, from every continent, shared their ideas about what needs to be done and what exciting projects should be realized to move the world forward,' said Oreshkin. Most submissions came from participants in Russia, with authors from Mexico, Oman, China, Italy, and India leading among foreign contributors, as previously stated by Natalia Virtuozova, General Director of the National Centre RUSSIA. 'The overwhelming majority of essays focused on investments in people. Authors expressed concerns, for example, about access to education and the preservation of national identity. Regarding investments in technology, the central theme was artificial intelligence. As for investments in connectivity, the essays mainly discussed international trade, while authors from smaller countries emphasized the accessibility of reliable information. Those who wrote about investments in the environment were primarily concerned about the future of cities,' Virtuozova noted. Interestingly, participants submitted essays in 18 different languages, including Pashto, Malagasy, Serbian, and Greek. Following the selection process, over 100 authors were invited to Moscow for in-person participation in the open dialogue. 'The open dialogue is an important platform, especially for BRICS countries, to discuss cooperation prospects and technological initiatives. It's a chance to network with new experts, exchange experiences, and find paths for joint development,' said Rüdiger Thiago, CEO of the Tanssi Foundation from Brazil. A similar viewpoint was expressed by Hugo Matekovic, founder of the Tools for the Commons organization from Brazil. According to him, the event provides participants with the opportunity to learn from each other and build cooperation. 'We are very glad that representatives of many countries – big and small – have gathered here to share experiences and opinions... I am impressed by the level of technology and technical expertise in Russia. I am confident that they will play a significant role in the future. Thank you for organizing such an open dialogue and for the warm welcome,' added Matekovic. The open dialogue program has been published on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA and is available to everyone in Russian, English, Chinese, Arabic, and Portuguese. The first day of the dialogue was dedicated to qualifying pitches by the essay participants, and on April 29, speeches by world-class experts and panel discussions are scheduled. 'The open dialogue format is unique. As we build a new economic reality, we proposed that scientists, economists, journalists, entrepreneurs, students – all those who care about prosperity and creation based on equality, mutual respect, and cooperation for the benefit of humanity – present their hypotheses, ideas, and possibly even their own scientific developments,' stated the event organizers. The results of the open dialogue will be compiled into a final report, incorporating all ideas and hypotheses from essay authors, as well as the opinions of experts.
